Colorado Companies: Hala Gear - Uncover Colorado

Stand-up paddle boards designed in Steamboat Springs

The company was founded by Peter Hall, a Denver-raised fellow who has a natural penchant for active sports and an innate fondness for inventing cool stuff. He first tried stand-up paddleboarding over a decade ago on the Yampa River and immediately fell in love with it, finding it a close relative of surfing, which he had also grown to love.

Prior to the company’s founding, he had first invented his own paddle using parts of other broken paddles. He eventually came up with a concept that truly represented the versatile ideas he had in mind, and the rest as they say, is history.

Hala’s stand-up paddle boards boast a handful of innovative features like Carbon Construction™ which gives their boards the sturdiness of a hardboard, but with the portability and convenience of an inflatable board; Core Construction™ which provides even more durability due to its Double-Layer Drop Stitch technology; Fusion Construction™ which makes it easier to manufacture the boards with lesser materials; and the DoubleStack™ Construction, a two-chamber air technology that enhances the overall performance of the board. It is a distinct feature of two of their boards, the Luya and the Peño.

Hala has the most versatile line of inflatable 6’11” to 14’ boards, perfect for whitewater stand-up paddle boarding, and ocean and river surfing. They also have inflatable boards for more relaxing activities like fishing and yoga.
